Navy Showers . . .

With the severe water shortage because of the drought conditions during the past three years in Central Florida, taking Navy showers should be encouraged. (A Navy shower is when you turn the water on, get yourself wet, turn the water off, lather up, turn the water back on, and rinse off.)

If this were done, rather than taking 20-minute showers, with the water running continually, we could save millions of gallons of water. I've been doing it for years, and I feel just as clean after as when I took showers with the water running the whole time.
